Cherry Dreams

by Erik Rosales

I love Cherry Trees.
For years now, I've 
held these red wanderers
in my deepest chamber.
I obsess over the petals
 
primarily.
Little infinitessimal things, 
windblown sprites drowning,
an old spring world in their 
 
thousands.
I press over their petals,
these useless medals,
I obsess, over these
raining drops of blood,
 
these spilled leaves. And 
red letter notes that 
come to me
in cherry waves
 
from cherry trees
somewhere there's a house
behind a victorian palasade 
where my other me lives
dining, full with glee,
 
ensconced in cypress
and cherry wreaths
